BIO
I was formerly the CEO of TerrAvion (W14). TerrAvion was dedicated to taking the organization and technology of networked aircraft and applying them to agriculture. TerrAvion was the largest volume provider of overnight imagery in agriculture from 2015-2020. Previously I led the US Army's first drone platoon in Afghanistan, worked for Deloitte with the US Navy helping them buy robot boats, and got an MBA at Carnegie Mellon--see my blog robocosmist.com for insights on robot finance.
